Does anyone know the logic why Spydertrader painted those bars in Red or Black?

 

TIA

 

That is a software setting. The volume must be the same ie. if price bar is red volume bar for that price bar must be red and and same for black and blue.

 

If the Open of the bar is greater than the Close of the same bar it is Black

If the Open of the bar is less than the Close of the same bar it is Red

If the Open=Close the bar is Blue ( I have coded it that way), generally when the bar is blue have a look and see if you think it should be black or red depending on price action.

 

Below is my TS code for a Paintbar

 

If Close < Open then

PlotPaintBar(High, Low, Close, Open, "-", Red);

 

If Close > Open then

PlotPaintBar(High, Low, Close, Open, "-", Black);

 

If Close = Open then

PlotPaintBar(High, Low, Close, Open, "-", Blue);

Thanks for that, I had a look at the code and the coding for the colours looks incorrect. It should not be using the previous bar for black and red. It should be the open and close of the current bar. Is MC coding different to TS?

 

In TS I use if C>O

 

Below is the code from MC

 

 

if c > c[1] then

color = upcol

else

if c < c[1] then

color = dncol

else

color = color[1];

feel free to customize it to your delight.

Jack and or Spyder spoke about “outside bars” as not common occurrences. In the markets I cover they are very common. I can’t seem to find any documentation on how to handle them with respect to taping.

 

 

I treat that bar as the change it direction of the tape, is that correct?

I see the OB as setting a new Pt1 on the fastest observable fractal (2 bar tapes). This may or may not be a new Pt1, 2, or 3 of the trading fractal.

Higher high and higher low bar means long (black). Lower low and lower high means short (red). All the other cases are internals (yellow), meaning they don't actually set a new direction. One exception to the first two statements is when they're inside a lateral.

Thanks, you nailed it for me.

There has been a feature request on Genesis' forum, which would be of great use to those of us using the 'gap-removal' tool in Trade Navigator. It would be nice to be able to move multiple annotated objects in one instance.

 

More people interested in the feature = More incentive for Genesis to implement it.

 

Feel free to express your opinion here:

Lateral Formations pattern recognition

 

Has anyone found any rules regarding lateral formations?

 

For example if the lateral is in a non-dom up trend, you would expect price to reverse on higher volume and or looking at which point the lateral is in the tapes.

 

The above is something I made up. I would you like to hear from people that have done work on laterals. I find laterals the most fascinating market structure.

What other scenario can you think of?

There are only 4 scenarios you can get a lateral in an up dom, down dom, up non-dom, down non-dom.

 

Regarding the different points (1,2, and 3) can be in any on the above, the lateral can be the start or finish of the 3 points.

 

On a side note has anyone looked at a higher time frame to see what the lateral is doing? I have attached Fridays ES 5min and 10 min chart and in the 10 min chart. The lateral is this case is forming higher lows on the 10 minute chart. On the 5 minute chart you are not able to see this.

I would stay with 5 min for now...

 

you can always find something to fit into some resolution (eg. why not try 4.9 min? or 5.1 min?).

 

 

 

ps. PV works at all fractals... you should see the message from the market, with or without the lateral.

Please elaborate on the messages you get from the markets with respect to laterals?

 

Thanks

Perhaps the attached helps...did this some weeks ago...is based on one of Jack Herhsey's "clean pages" (forgot the number)- anybody feels i missed something, please correct.

 

Cheerio,

sorry attachment did not go through...

looks great but I will add bar close as where bar closes in relation to bar high/ bar low is also important.

good point, you mean ibgs etc., which would constitute an IB change signal.....

I did not add it since the original text (JH clean page 2?3? It's somewhere in this thread) does not refer to it.... probably I should.

Actually, on second thought, the doc was about how to place tapes...so I think it is correct. In cases were you have closes that change the direction (Intra bar Gaussian Shifts), the tapes stay the same but an arrow denoting (future) change should be added...

 

Best,

Have a look at Spyder's Bar by Bar,

 

On bar 1, he speaks about increasing black volume and the price closes inside the previous bar, so a short is initiated. That black bar should be a red bar since the close is lower than the open, why is it black?

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.

    • The good thing i had noticed so far is that the traderpot value is also on the rise..
    • yup its a gradual rollout the right way in my opinion, its really good and its exciting for the sto in 2027
    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some.
